PHI is governed by the privacy, security, and breach notification provisions of federal laws known as HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191) and HITECH (the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, Public Law 111-5), and their implementing regulations (Parts 160 and 164 of the Code of Federal Regulations). State law may provide additional requirements for PHI. This Privacy Policy does not cover PHI we collect about you because we are not a healthcare provider, or otherwise a covered entity or business associate subject to HIPAA.
